World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

This is the first time the top four teams in the FIFA rankings have all advanced to the semifinals.

If anything it seems like expansion would help this happen. Adds another knockout game for randomness, but group play gets diluted and now including a third place team makes it even more likely the top teams won't get grouped.

I believe that this World Cup is the first time they specifically spaced the top four teams out in the draw to prevent them from meeting before the semifinals.

It also feels like there’s a bit of a gap between the top four and the rest. There were a few close ones but quality seemed to win out in the end.
